NH Malaga
Malaga | Spain
⭐⭐⭐⭐
NH Malaga brings together contemporary style, a rooftop pool and a central location for exploring one of Spain’s most vibrant coastal cities. Just a short stroll from the old town and Calle Larios, this polished city hotel makes it easy to flit between galleries, tapas bars, boutique shopping and the sands of Playa de la Malagueta. Modern interiors, a relaxing terrace and a smart on-site restaurant complete a very handy Malaga city base.
From its gleaming glass façade to the chic lounge and light-filled rooms, NH Malaga feels every inch the modern Mediterranean city pad. Head up to the rooftop to cool off in the seasonal outdoor pool, then sink into a lounger on the terrace as Malaga’s skyline glows at golden hour. Down at street level, it’s a quick stroll to the old town, cathedral and Picasso Museum – or continue on to the waterfront for sundowners by the sea.
For couples, friends or solo travellers keen to tap into Malaga’s urban energy with the beach in easy reach, NH Malaga delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 20–30 minutes by road from Malaga Airport (AGP), so you can be checked in and exploring the old town in no time. See more Spain holidays.

Pool Areas and Beach
Make a beeline for the rooftop when the sun is shining: NH Malaga’s outdoor pool (typically open June to September) is the ideal spot to cool off between city explorations. Take a dip, then stretch out on a lounger on the terrace and soak up views of Malaga’s rooftops and church towers. For a change of scene, wander down to the seafront – Playa de la Malagueta and neighbouring beaches provide soft sand, chiringuitos and plenty of space for a quick swim in the Mediterranean.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
While NH Malaga is primarily a city hotel rather than a full-scale resort, you can expect well-thought-out amenities that make short breaks simple. There’s a contemporary lobby lounge for informal meetings or planning your day, plus on-site conference and event spaces if you’re combining business and leisure. You’ll also find 24-hour reception, luggage storage and concierge-style assistance to help with taxis, restaurant suggestions and local tips on everything from museums to the best flamenco spots.
